family (biology), family (Oecophoridae), or in an expanded Autostichidae. It is the type genus of its subfamily (and the Autostichidae). Originally, this genus was named ''Automola'', but this name properly refers to Automola, a fly genus in family Richardiidae. Typically, these moths have the second and third forewing vein emerging from a common stalk. The labial palp, labial palps are characteristically tapering from the second segment onwards and end in a pointed tip. Several originally independent genera are now included here, and while most of them are probably not even valid as subgenera, some species included in ''Autosticha'' have been historically assigned to entirely different Gelechioidea lineages, such as the long-horned moths (Lecithoceridae) or the Xyloryctidae.
